The low-pressure fuel pump in your Subaru is a component that helps send gasoline from the tank to your engine. In your 2018-2020 Ascent, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, BRZ, WRX, or Toyota 86, it may have a faulty design.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump fails while you're driving, your engine could suddenly shut off, losing power steering and power brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Subaru dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you can schedule it as soon as you receive a recall notice.
